I would go back and keep asking waitresses if they are Sarah Connor, so that machines could comfortably rule mankind, forcing them to toil at keyboards connected via Skynet. I gather that this idea is acceptable to your culture?
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
You're right, but the biggest problem is that most of the idiots actually believe Gore would have been different than Bush. The two parties represent the same monied interest. We would have still had wars for Israel.Potbelly said:What an idiot. Democracy is bullsh1t when most of the population is a composed of idiots.
Evidence: bush got elected....TWICE
Dare I ask why?Down Low said:I'd go back to the Roman Republic as a demigod seer. Get in good with the main politicians by giving them timely advice. Then I'd advise them to make peace with the barbarians by offering them vast territories in North Africa and the Middle East to rule as brutally as they wished. I'd skip ahead several years at a time so my lifetime could cover many centuries. I'd prevent the formation of an empire, and prevent it from splitting into West and East. I'd advance the armies into the Arabian peninsula and prevent Mohammedism from ever being invented. Generation after generation would steadily conquer everything between the Sahara and the Arctic -- then move east, crush the Mongols and other mounted steppe armies, definitively vanquish and colonize Persia and India -- and over a thousand years, make Eurasia into a single unified power that could overwhelm and dismember China and fvck it out of existence.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
You don't need a time machine for that. Just patienceDesdinova said:I'd travel to about 4 years into the future and fvck my ex's best friend's daughter (who would be 20 years old at that point). Then I'd tell my ex that I'm marrying the girl. The look on her face would be priceless.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
